Ekuru is a very common native cuisine of the Yoruba people in Nigeria. It is usually prepared with peeled beans.[1]
It is similar to moin-moin as both are made from peeled black-eyed peas or, occasionally, cowpeas. However, unlike moi-moi which is mixed with pepper and other ingredients before steaming, Ekuru is wrapped up in leaves or tin cans (similar to moi-moi) and steamed.[2]
It is often prepared in the same way as ordinary moin moin but does not include any additional ingredients. It has a white color and tastes like stew. It goes well with solid pap (eko).[3]
It is served with fried pepper stew and then mashed up with pepper stew. Some people enjoy the meal with fermented maize pudding (Ogi or Eko) it can also be served alongside (Eba) Cassava Pudding or Okro Soup.
The meal is native to people from South-Western Nigeria, predominantly from Osun State.[2]
